A BRIEF DESCRIPTION 



OF THE 



Ready Reference Bible Reading System. 



" Ye are the light of the world. . . . Let your light so shine." 
Matt. 5 : 14, 16. 

With the help of God, the author has sent forth this 
little work, with the earnest prayer that it may give light 
and help to many, in a more thorough study of the 
"Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise 
unto salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus." 
Following is a brief description of the readings used in 
the Ready Reference Bible Reading System. Every text 
referred to in each reading is printed on fine linen 
paper, and arranged neatly in the front of the Bible ; 
and the number of each reading is the reference number 
to the reading, which is stamped at the beginning of 
each reference. On the margin of the Bible, at the 
end of each reference is stamped the next succeeding 
reference, thus guiding all through the entire reading. 
It is all that is indicated by the title. 

All work neatly and promptly done/ For further 
information, address, M. ^hepard, 

65 Aldrich St., Battle Creek, Mich.

I have examined the plan suggested by Brother M. t 
Shepard for Bible Readings, and think the idea a good 
one. It furnishes a simple and easy method for con- 
ducting such readings, and brings out the points in 
each lesson in a very condensed form. It is to be 
hoped that many may in this way be encouraged to try 
to bring truth before others, who would hardly feel like 
taking hold of such work without this help. 

U. Smith. 




Jo whom it may concern : — 

I have quite carefully examined the Ready Refer- 
ence Bible Reading System prepared by M. Shepard, 
and consider it a very unique and excellent help for 
those who may be striving for familiarity with the Bible. 
I heartily recommend it. Yours very truly, 

A. O. Tait. 

THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSONAL LABOR. 

No. 25. 

What has God made of all his servants? — Watch- 
men. Eze. 3 : 17, 18. 

For what purpose? — To warn the wicked from his 
way, to save his life. 

What result if we fail to do this ? — The wicked 
will die, and his blood will be required at our hand. 
Verse 18. 

As to watchmen, what cry comes to us? — Watch- 
man, what of the night ? Isa. 21 : 11, 12. 

What should be our answer ? — " The morning com- 
eth, and also the night ; if ye will inquire, inquire ye ; 
return, come." Verse 12. 

Why should we say " come " ? — " The Spirit and the 
bride say, Come ; " and also, " Let him that heareth say, 
Come." Rev. 22 : 17. 

What further invitation should we extend ? — " Come 
now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord : Though 
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." 
Isa. 1 : 18, 19. And the willing and obedient shall eat 
the good of the land. Verse 19. Therefore, "Arise, 
shine," for " darkness shall cover the earth, and gross 
darkness the people." Isa. 60 : 1, 2. " For the earnest 
expectation [the inheritance] of the creature, waiteth 
for the manifestation of the sons of God." Rom. 8 : 19. 
" Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not 
yet appear what we shall be." 1 John 3 : 2. But when 
this gospel of the kingdom is given to all the world for 
a witness, then the end will come. Matt. 24 : 14. Then 
we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 
" There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of 
God." Heb. 4:9. So " let your loins be girded about, 
and your lights burning ; and ye yourselves like unto 
men that wait for their Lord, when he will return from 



the wedding ; that when he cometh and knocketh, they 
may open unto him immediately." Luke 12 : 35, 36. 

As there are many who fail to do that personal work 
with their neighbors, perhaps through lack of confidence 
or being unable to refer to such passages of Scripture 
as are needed, and knowing that it is always better to 
read Scripture than to quote it, it is sincerely hoped 
that this work, will enable many to take up the work 
hitherto left undone, and carry it forward, until he who 
shall come will come. And they shall come from the 
east, and from the west, and from the north, and from 
the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 
Luke 13 : 29. 



A HAPPY HOME AND HOW TO MAKE IT. 

No. o. 

This reading gives a brief description of man's home, 
when he was upright and perfect before his Maker. 
If we would have a happy home, we must be in har- 
mony with the principles that govern a happy home, 
which are love and obedience. To do this, we must 
open the door to Him who knocketh, who is the author 
of happiness ; rejoicing alway in him who is the crown 
of our rejoicing. Phil. 4 : 4. 



BAPTISM. 

No. 2. 

Baptism as an ordinance of God, becomes a memo- 
rial of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, and it is 
an act of faith. Hence one faith, one baptism. There- 
fore we are buried with him by baptism into death, 
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead, by the 
glory of the Father, even so we should walk in newness 
of life. For we are dead, and our life is hid with Christ 
in God. Col. 3 : 3. 



COMFORT IN AFFLICTION. 

No. 3. 

This reading is especially comforting to those who 
are in affliction, for many are the afflictions of man ; 



but God delivereth the righteous out of them all. So 
we may say with that man of old : " Blessed be God, 
even . . . the Father of mercy and the God of all 
comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that 
we may be able to comfort them which are in any 
trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are 
comforted of God." 2 Cor. 1 : 3, 4. Amen. 



GOOD HEALTH. 

No. 4. 

In what condition was man when created ? — Upright. 
Eccl. 7 : 29. 

In what condition now ? — No soundness. Isa. 1:5,6. 

Why this condition? — Disobedience. Rom. 5 : 19. 

Disobedience of what? — Of God's law, and upon 
the particular line of eating. Gen. 2 : 16, 17. 

While in this condition what is God's greatest desire? 
— To prosper and be in health, and keep himself pure. 
3 John 2 ; 1 Tim. 5 : 22. 

How only can man be pure and in health ? — By 
serving God. Ex. 23 : 25. 

How only can this be done ? — By faith. Heb. 11:6. 

In view of this, what shall we do ? — Cleanse our- 
selves. 2 Cor. 7 : 1. 

By what means only can we do this? — If we confess 
our sins, he will forgive us and cleanse us. 1 John 1 : 9. 

Then what shall we do? — Cease to do evil. Isa. 
1 : 16. Learn to do well, and touch not the unclean 
thing. Gen. 1:29; 2 Cor. 6:17; Deut. 14:8; Ps. 
IO S : 37 ') Dan. 1 : 8, 18, 20 ; Rom. 12 : 1. 

Therefore present your bodies a living sacrifice, and 
if you eat or drink, do it to the glory of God. 1 Cor. 
10:31. Then you, as the heavens, will declare the 
glory of God (Ps. 19 : 1), and not be as those in Ps. 
69 : 22 ; Isa. 66 : 3, 17 ; 1 Cor. 3 : 17. For God delight- 
eth in uprightness. 

JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH 

No. 5. 

This reading shows that salvation through faith is a 
gift of God, and that gift comes by hearing God's word. 



And that before faith came to man through Jesus Christ 
by the plan of salvation he was kept by the law of sin 
under the condemnation of God's law \ but since faith 
is come, we are no longer held under condemnation by 
the law of sin and death, but become dead to the law of 
sin and alive unto God, to the Law of Love, the Law 
of Christ, the Law of God ; and being justified by 
faith, we have peace with God. Once more reflecting 
the image and glory of God — the righteousness of God 
— thereby being fulfilled in us who walk not after the 
flesh but after the spirit, which could not previously be 
done. 



GOODNESS AND MERCY OF GOD. 

No. 6. 

In Ex. 34 : 6. The Lord proclaimed his name and 
character to Moses. " The Lord, the Lord God, merciful 
and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness 
and truth." " He hath not dealt with us after our sins, 
nor rewarded us according to our iniquities." " The 
Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and 
he knoweth them that trust in him." Nahum i : 7. 



PRECIOUS PROMISES. 

No. 7. 

This reading consists of a group of precious promises 
calculated to strengthen and encourage any one who 
may be sad or cast down, and to inspire hope and faith ; 
and though God may give us the bread of adversity and 
the water of affliction, yet he will not forsake us, but 
we will ever hear that still sweet voice saying to us, 
" This is the way, walk ye in it/' when we turn to the 
right hand or to the left. 



PARADOXICAL MISCELLANEOUS TEXTS. 

No. 8. 

This reading is just as indicated by the title, — texts 
that seem to be absurd, but when explained are all 
right. 



THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY AND ITS 
SERYICES. 

No. g. 

This reading shows the sanctuary to be a dwelling- 
place for God, made holy by his presence, giving a 
brief account of the material used, and how obtained. 
Describing the different articles of furniture, giving the 
location of each, and their use. Who was called to 
serve, how they were prepared, and what the services 
consisted of. That the closing services performed on 
the tenth day of the seventh month, was a work of 
judgment, all typifying the work of Jesus Christ in 
heaven, our great High Priest. 



THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY AND ITS 
CLEANSING. 

No. 10. 

As the earthly sanctuary and its services was a type 
of the heavenly, and Christ being priest, when he as- 
cended up on high, services began in the holy places 
not made with hands, and ceased in the holy places 
made with hands. Christ there carrying forward the 
ministration of the first apartment until the end of the 
time spoken of in Dan. 8 : 14, when the door was opened 
in the second part of the heavenly, and judgment set, 
as shown by Dan. 7 : 9, 10. Wherefore gird up the loins 
of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the 
grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation 
of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1 : 13. 

The 2300 days of Dan. 8 : 14, ended in 1844. (See 
works on the prophetic periods.) Therefore we have 
been in the investigative judgment for over fifty years. 



THE TWO LAWS. 

No. 11. 

As the Bible presents two laws, running parallel in the 
Scriptures, the one changeless and eternal, the other 

6 



provisional and temporary, so they are considered in 
this reading: First, the eternal,— a transcript of God's 
character, which exists by virtue of God's existence; 
second, the provisional and temporary law, made up 
of symbols pointing to Christ, his priesthood and sac- 
rifice. This was to continue until type met antitype in 
the death of Christ. This law Christ took out of the 
way, nailing it to his cross. Col. 2 : 14. 



THE STATE OF THE DEAD. 

No. 12. 

This reading shows that the Lord formed man of the 
dust of the ground, and that by disobedience he returns 
to the dust as he was ; such is the state, or condition, 
of man in death. Ps. 146 : 3. 



THE RESURRECTION AND THE REWARD. 

No. 13. 

By this we understand that the hour is coming, in 
the which all they who have gone back to dust and so 
remain,, shall be brought forth by the voice of God, 
who knoweth and doeth all things well. They will re- 
ceive their reward according to the deeds done in the 
body, whether good or evil. 



THE POWER OF THE WORD. 

No. 14. 

It is by the word that man lives, and the entrance of 
God's word in the heart giveth light and understanding. 
He will also sanctify a people unto himself through the 
word of truth. " By the word of the Lord were the 
heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath 
of his mouth." The word of the Lord endureth for- 
ever, and "is able to build you up, and to give you 
an inheritance among all them which are sanctified." 
Acts 20: 32. 

7 



THE GIFT OF PROPHECY. 

No. 15. 

The texts referred to in this reading show us that the 
gift of prophecy is a gift of the Spirit ; also its purpose 
and duration, and that there are also false prophets, 
telling how we may know the false from the true. By 
believing the Lord, we shall be established, and if we 
believe his prophets, so shall we prosper. 



THE TWO COVENANTS. 

No. 16. 

As there are presented in the Bible two covenants, a 
covenant of works and a covenant of grace, as repre- 
sented by the two sons of Abraham, in Gal. 4 : 22-24, 
so they are considered in this reading. Noticing first 
that compact called in the Scriptures the " Old Cove- 
nant," formed between God and Israel at Sinai, which 
gendered to bondage, which was Ager ; then considering 
the covenant of grace or the Abrahamic covenant as 
represented by the son of the free woman, through 
whom we all become heirs of God, and joint heirs with 
Christ, and of the eternal inheritance according to the 
promise. 



THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. 

No. 17. 
This reading is divided into four divisions, and is 
considered separately, giving the signs of, and the ful- 
filment of each event as follows : First, the flood ; 
second, the first advent ; third, the destruction of 
Jerusalem; fourth, the second advent of Christ, when 
he shall come in the clouds, with all his holy angels with 
him, in power and great glory. 



THE SABBATH, ITS ORIGIN, PURPOSE AND 
DURATION. 

No. 18. 
First, showing when, where, and by whom it origi- 
nated ; second, that its purpose is to be a memorial 



of creation, and a sign between God and man, mak- 
ing the proper distinction between the Creator and 
the creature, and as such, lying at the foundation of 
divine worship ; third, that so long as the fact that 
God is Creator, continues to be a reason why worship 
is due to him, so long the Sabbath will continue to be 
its sign and memorial. 



THE SPIRITS IN PRISON; WHO ARE 
THEY? 

No. 19. 

By the scripture referred to in this reading, we 
learn that the spirits in prison, are those who are in 
bondage to sin, and that we are a chosen generation, 
delivered out of prison that we may show forth his vir- 
tues as being able to deliver others that are held by 
the bands of Satan, and so break every yoke, and let the 
oppressed go free. 



THE PRIESTHOOD, ITS ORDER AND 
DURATION. 

No. 20. 

Consisting of two orders, Melchisedec and the Levit- 
ical. Aaron and his sons of the tribe of Levi, were 
called to officiate in the priest's office, under the Levit- 
ical law, until type met antitype in the death of Christ, 
when there was made a change in the law, governing 
the priesthood, and Christ became priest forever after 
the order of Melchisedec, and not after the order of 
Aaron. Who is not entered into holy places made with 
hands, but into heaven itself, there to appear in the 
presence of God for us. 



THE WAY AND THE FATE OF THE 
TRANSGRESSOR. 

No. 21. 

The way of the transgressor is hard, and while man's 
way may seem right unto him, yet the end thereof is 



the way of death. Therefore be not deceived, God is 
not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall 
he also reap. 



THE LAST WARNING : A RIVAL MESSAGE 
AND ITS RESULTS. 

NO. 22. 

This reading shows this gospel of the kingdom of 
Matt. 24 : 14 to be the last phase of the everlasting 
gospel to the inhabitants of earth, with a warning 
against false worship, and speaks of the fact that 
there will be great preparation for war ; also a rival 
message proclaiming peace when there is none, and 
what the results are to those who are affected by it. 



WHAT IS REPRESENTED BY THE BEAST, 
HIS IMAGE AND MARK I 

No. 23. 

This reading shows us what is represented by the 
beast, by showing what was necessary to take place 
before the beast could be formed, which was to depart 
from God, and unite with the secular power, to control 
the consciences of men. An image to the beast will be 
developed when a like condition of things exists as 
represented by the beast. His mark is that by which 
his authority is made known. 



WHERE? MAN'S HOME, PAST, PRESENT, 
AND FUTURE. 

No. 24. 

This reading shows that man's home has always been 
upon this earth ; that he once exercised complete do- 
minion over it, and enjoyed sweet communion face to 
face with God ; that he fell, by which he transferred his 
dominion to another, and that now he lives under the 
curse, amid thorns and thistles. And that God, through 
Jesus Christ, who has purchased back the inheritance, 



will make this earth new, and take him who is of a hum- 
ble and contrite spirit, and place him again in his own 
land \ so shall we ever be with God. 



THE EASTERN QUESTION. 

No. 26. 

The Eastern Question is simply the question of the 
manner in which the remains of the now nearly defunct 
Turkish Empire shall be disposed of, which is quite clearly 
set forth by prophecy in the eleventh chapter of Daniel. 
A definite point, sufficiently far back to include all that 
is said about the question, is found in verse 35, where 
there are three prominent things brought to view, (1) a 
period of persecution ; (2) the fact that this persecution 
is measured by a prophetic period — " a time appointed," 
and (3) that this period brings us to the season called 
"the time of the end." As there are but two instances 
of such a nature, the first under Diocletian, from a. d. 
302, to a. d. 312. Rev. 2 : 10. But this is too far in 
the past to reach to the time of the end, and cannot 
be the one intended. The second is the great period 
during which the papacy was to wear out the saints of the 
Most High (Dan. 7 : 25 ; Rev. 13 : 7), — a period which 
the prophets five times mention as containing 1260 years, 
commencing a. d. 538, and ending 1798. Thus we find 
ourselves located by verse 35, in 1798, at the end of the 
1260 years, and at the beginning of a period called " the 
time of the end." Next bringing to view a king or na- 
tion which in its national capacity, should take upon 
itself the profession of atheism, verses 36, 37, of which 
France, above any nation mentioned in history, did, 
during the French Revolution, from 1793 to 1798. The 
prophecy dwells upon that power down to verse 40. 

Verse 38 introduces a new and strange God, whom 
their fathers knew not, which was fulfilled by the intro- 
duction of the worship of Reason, in the person of a 
lewd woman. The statement in verse 39, " He shall 
divide the land for gain," was fulfilled in the confisca- 
tion of the estates of the nobility by the revolutionists, 
and in selling out the same, bringing in to the treasury 
over 700,000,000 pounds sterling. The king of the South 

11 



brought to view in verses 5-15 is Egypt, and the specifica- 
tions of verse 40 were met in the hostilities between Egypt 
and France, and between Turkey (the king of the North) 
and France, all in the same year, 1 798, and Turkey, backed 
by England and Russia was furnished the many ships 
of the prophecy ; being enabled to overflow and pass 
over, and thereby become the subject of the remainder 
of the prophecy. And now the prophecy drops the 
French, and transfers the burden of its testimony to 
the Turk, and traces his history from this point on to 
the end. Verses 41-43 relate, no doubt, to the success 
of the Turks in the war of 1 798-1801. Verse 44, point- 
ing to another war in the present century, fulfilled in 
the Crimean war of 1853-56. Dan. ri : 45, and 12 : 1 
show that the Turk will plant the tabernacles of his 
palace between the seas, in the glorious holy mountain ; 
yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him : 
and at that time shall Michael " stand up," which sig- 
nifies to ascend the throne or to reign, thus bringing us 
to the scenes of the eternal state. That Michael is 
Christ, see Jude 9; 1 Thess. 4 : 16; John 5 : 25-28. 
Whosoever readeth let him understand. Matt. 24 : 15. 
Also, let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he 
fall. 1 Cor. 10 : 12.

Raited 
Glutep 



FURNISHES the farinaceous 
food elements in a state of 
complete digestion, 

READY FOR IMMEDIATE 
ABSORPTION. 



J HE gluten which it contains 
"*■ has been subjected to malt 
digestion, and is in a state of fine division, so that it is promptly 
acted upon by the digestive fluids* Gluten is of all food elements 
the only one which is capable of sustaining life indef= 
initely. It will thus be seen that Malted Gluten is a 

PERFECT BLOOD- AND FLESH-MAKING FOOD. 

It is free from the unpleasant flavor of the various meat pep- 
tones, and is especially adapted to those cases requiring perfect in- 
testinal asepsis, in which meat peptones and meat preparations of 
every description are contra-indicated* It has proved a sovereign 
remedy in cases of nervous headache, sick headache, 
obstinate nausea, and vomiting, and numerous cases in which 
all other food substances were rejected by the stomach* 




Butter 



A CAPITAL SUBSTITUTE 
for ANiriAL FATS of All 
Sorts in the SEASONING 
or SHORTENING of FOODS, 
in the PREPARATION of 
GRAVIES, SAUCES, etc. 



^THOROUGHLY cooked and emulsified, so 
it dissolves readily in water; has a rich, 
nutty flavor; is exceedingly PALATABLE and 
DIGESTIBLE, KEEPS WELL, is THOR- 
OUGHLY STERILIZED, and free from all 
objections which can be urged against animal 
fats* It gives a meaty flavor to soups*
